I told Kehlani that I wanted to just, be alone, and I told Johnny the same thing when he called. Said he loved me, and he wanted us to come home, again. But, I said, I was for real this time, and after Kenny and I's night of passionate remembrance of "us", all I dreamed about died again. I hadn't seen, messaged or spoken to Kendrick in a few weeks, now, having left him wanting more and him telling me he wanted me to stay, then we both said too much, and ended up talking too slick, which turned into, fighting, both frustrated about the way shit was. I swore, I couldn't do it again, and said Johnny and I were going to be strictly co-parenting our daughter, but, things got deeper than I had anticipated that first time I did see him again.

I told Johnny I would need a couple weeks to get us resettled and I guess he just accepted that, and, that time was up, so, he was calling me non-stop. The morning of the day I was supposed to be meeting with Aubrey, to actually sign my contract and begin my new and highly anticipated role, he called and I gave in and answered figuring he wanted to see his daughter. "Where you staying at?" "Why!? You ain't want me there!!" "Look, I don't want to argue bout that shit no more... I'm sorry okay, I want to see you, and... I wanna see Heaven, I'm still her Dad!" What Kendrick was suggesting was running through my head on repeat now. So, I apologised, as I agreed and said I would bring her for the weekend on Friday and he seemed okay with FaceTiming her in the evenings, until then.
I was excited about working for someone as big as Drake, I won't lie, I wanted to see what I could do with the opportunity on a wider scale and also looking forward to seeing what it was like, and, behind the scenes, we had quite an intensive conversation about that he promised things would be strictly professional. Despite our brief moment of being in the same room when I was embracing new found freaky freedoms. He promised wasn't looking for anything beyond having someone who could be his assistant and someone to style him and that he knew I could body that shit. So, I made a whole seasonal pallet of outfits for him, and sent them to him so he could see what I could bring to the table beyond his lunch and whatever else he asked for.

I was met at the reception by a girl, she was light skinned, and cute but seemed annoyed. She looked kind of young, so I thought she was an intern or something, but, she was the assistant element of the role I was replacing, in fact. Baby faced, and looking at me like she wanted to ask me a thousand questions. "Hey...You must be Shaelynn..." "Hi... yeah, nice to meet you..." "Yeah, I'm Simona... I'm a Drake's current Assistant..." "Oh cool, okay-" she let me walk ahead of her, scoping me out as I politely held the huge glass door open and she took me up to Aubrey's LA office. Somewhere people weren't familiar with or able to access easily, security thicker than me and tighter than Simona.
